The Buzz
Nick Bosa came to Ohio State after his older brother, Joey, had already made a name for himself as a three-year starter in Columbus. Prior to his arrival, many considered Nick further along the development curve than Joey and possessing a higher ceiling. He struggled with injury early and late in his Ohio State career, but he was still an All-American and First-Team Big Ten performer.
